Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Just to say best of luck to all those who have submitted an application this time round.
Counting down the days till the 20th, hoping so much for good news, would be gutted to fall at the 1st hurdle.

bute123,
You don't have to have been wearing contacts for 12 months. As long as you meet the unaided standard you can wear glasses to meet the aided requirements. I've never worn contact lenses but passed the eyesight test without any issues.

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
I too am waiting with everything crossed! The PEE appears a mixture of numeracy and literacy, there are sample tests on the Step Forward website which, although from previous posts appear to be in a different format to the PEE itself, will at least give you an idea of the sort of thing.
There are 4 tests, you put in your email address, complete them in the allocated time and get your results emailed through.
Best of luck.
Stu.

Cheers Stu,
Someone mentioned the online tests to me before but I had trouble finding them.
Is this your first WAPOL application?

They were certainly on there until the website upgrade a few weeks ago, will have a look later.
It is my 1st time round, yes. First time within the service range, although have been planning (hoping) on it for years!
What about yourself?
